All those questions...
*by Stéphane Bouchard

Blainville, Québec, Canada

«To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;»
-William Shakespeare from Hamlet

Thanks everyone. I like this one because there is no major post processed except for noise reduction and crop. I had passed a good time with my son (yes Jesus, Charles is my 5 years old son…) and after a few days, I’m looking back to the picture and I like it very much.

While shooting, I was hoping that the chair won’t be visible but it is finally a good accessory helping to keep coherent the subject pose.

Wow, I was wondering if anyone was going to use this quotation and if they would do it justice... well I don't think it could have been done any better.

Very little to add to Michael comment. I love the image. BTW. He looks like your reduced copy. Is he your soon?. Jesus

Stéphane, I think you nailed it...pose, perspective, lighting, composition. For me, the underlying message in the Bard's quotation carries us from childhood to old age. -Michael
